Description

I am offering for sale a lovely decorative, antique
1852-1862 MERIDEN BRITANNIA
Meriden CT
Quadruple Silver-plated
ROUND, PEDESTAL
CAKE / FLOWER BASKET
with swivel handle.
The underside of the base is hallmarked by
Meriden Britannia from Meriden CT, 1852-1862.
Numbered 1887.
This Victorian cake basket / flower basket features a solid swivel handle with pierced floral ornament in the center.
The solid handle swivels perfectly. In some of the pictures it stands upright because I found the point of balance. But it will not stay upright when the basket is moved.
The basket features a pedestal with raised base.
The wide border of the bowl features a beautiful pattern.
NO MONOGRAMS.
Great antique, highly decorative piece, perfect for use as;
CAKE BASKET/TRAY, BUFFET TRAY/CENTERPIECE, for BREAD-SNACK-SERVING or FLOWER BASKET.
This piece is very sturdy, but shows a bit age wear in the plating here and there. The bowl leans a bit more to one side, not immediately visible. Please see the pictures.
It is very clean, polished and shiny, ready for immediate use or display.
